Managing business fuel expenses is never as straightforward as a lot of budding business owners and entrepreneurs want it to be. There’s just so much admin work involved if you try to do it all by hand.
However, Right Fuel Card potentially has a solution and is already used by more than 25,000 businesses across the UK. Instead of submitting receipts manually, it essentially just gives you and your drivers a fuel card that they can use at fuelling stations. Then, the idea is, that you can automate keeping track of everything and don’t have to worry about employees using cards inappropriately.
But the question, of course, is whether this system is any good. That’s what we discuss in this review. Here, we run through the various pros and cons of using the service, what we noticed, who it’s for, and whether it’s any good. Then, we wrap up with a final verdict for whether you should use it.
What We Liked About Right Fuel Card
So, what did we like the most about Right Fuel Card? What stood out to us?
Big Fuel Savings Across The Board
Perhaps the most exciting thing about Right Fuel Card is the fact that the service manages to integrate savings for business owners. This means that if you own a fleet, you can reduce your expenses considerably over time. Even small per-litre savings can add up.
According to Right Fuel Card, the maximum you can save is around 9p per litre. However, this depends on things like the forecourt you use and standard pump prices. Usually, savings are in the 3p to 7p range, which is still pretty good when you add it up across the fleet. This way, you’re reducing one of your primary costs, similar to lowering wages, but without the unions or the hassle.
Works Across Fuel Types
Another thing we noticed about Right Fuel Card is that it works across fuel types. Whether you need petrol, diesel or even electricity, there are opportunities to save with this card.
Again, we found this helpful because it gave us more freedom. It meant that we could do as we pleased with our cards and didn’t have to worry about matching them to our fleet.
According to Right Fuel Card, its card will work across 98% of all service and petrol stations across the UK. That means you can get your drivers to use it at Texaco, Esso, Shell and any number of the minor garages dotted across the country.
No Hidden Fee
You’ll also notice as you start using the card that there are no hidden fees. Right Fuel Card isn’t trying to spring costs on you to pump up its margins.
As such, it is super business friendly. Every company with a fleet that uses it knows that it is predictable and actually saves them money most of the time (alongside eliminating the challenges of providing drivers with business account cards).
Therefore, you won’t pay any surprise costs. Right Fuel Card is literally a service that saves you money.
Easier Billing
On a more practical note, Right Fuel Card offers easier billing and payment management. For example, you don’t have to worry about providing drivers with a list of instructions on how to handle receipts. Instead, all that’s done electronically via your account.
In addition, Right Fuel Card can track things like VAT reclamation and expenses. It’s a kind of receipt management service.
Quick And Easy Application
On top of this, there’s the quick and easy application. We didn’t notice any real friction getting set up. Because Right Fuel Card works through the conventional payments system (but with restrictions), there’s no setting up required. Drivers can just go to fuel courts and then use their cards like they would a normal business credit or debit card.
Options For All Fleet Sizes And Types
Finally, Right Fuel Card offers options for various types of fleets, meaning that there’s usually something suitable for most types of businesses.
For example, you can get various pump price options if your spending is irregular. You can also do things like get fixed weekly pricing if you want to lock in rates and avoid potential cost rises. It’s a good way to manage risks in our view.
Finally, you can get savings on mixed fuel types and EV integrations. Sometimes, there are smart home reimbursements available.
What We Didn’t Like About Right Fuel Card
Truth be told, there isn’t much we didn’t like about Right Fuel Card’s services. However, in the interest of transparency, we feel it's worth noting some of the minor cons.
One issue was the variability of savings per litre of fuel. It would be nice if this was standardised, but it, unfortunately, can vary quite a bit. Sometimes, you won’t save any money at all on fill-ups.
Of course, not all of this is Right Fuel Card’s fault. Fuel prices can vary and forecourts can change their rules. But it is a potential downside of the service.
The second big issue is the fact that you have to use your Right Fuel Card in the UK. Drivers can’t take it with them overseas or when they go to the continent. Because of this, you need a different system abroad.
Lastly, we’d like to see Right Fuel Card provide more information on how to get the most out of all its services. Buying fuel is the simple part, but there are all sorts of other perks that need highlighting.
Final Verdict And Summary
So, what did we think overall of Right Fuel Card? Ultimately, this service is one we think makes sense for virtually all fleet-based businesses operating in the UK. It’s just so convenient.
Due to the automated expense and invoicing, Right Fuel Card gets our five-out-of-five rating. It’s useful across the UK and can potentially save larger fleets tens of thousands of pounds in fuel costs. Plus, drivers can easily use these cards for filling up, slashing business risks.
